Abstract

An efficient and well-organized system 100 and method 200 for provisioning job searching as well as candidate searching are disclosed. Said system 100 comprises a user management module 102 for receiving user related information; a processing unit 104 for processing said user related information; an employer module 106 for receiving the employer related information; a detecting unit for identifying at least one vacancy available with at least one said employer and at least one user with a matching user's profile data; a recommendation unit 110 to establish a relationship between the said employer, the matching user and at least one of its contacts based on the employer profile data, user profile data and the contact profile data and a request unit 112 for enabling user to send a request for a referral for said vacancy to said at least one contact identified in the said relationship, by the user depending upon his input/s.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A system for employment recommendation comprising:

 a user management module  102  for receiving user related information from at least one data source, wherein the user related information comprises user's profile data of at least one user and profile data of at least one contact of said at least one user; 
 a processing unit  104  configured to process the user related information received from user management module  102 , wherein the processing includes categorization of the user profile data and the contact profile data based on pre-configured rules; 
 an employer module  106  for receiving employer related information from at least one data source, wherein the employer related information comprises profile data of at least one employer and is normalized; 
 a detecting unit  108  for receiving information from said processing unit  104  and said employer module  106  and identifying at least one vacancy available with at least one said employer and identifying at least one user with a matching user's profile data; 
 a recommendation unit  110  configured to create a meta-data to establish relationship between the said employer, the matching user and at least one of its contacts based on information received from detecting unit, wherein the recommendation unit  110  notifies at least one of the user, contact, and the employer of said relationship; 
 a request unit configured to enable the user to send a request regarding a referral for said vacancy with said employer, to said at least one contact identified in the said relationship; and 
 a processor operable to execute the one or more program instruction modules. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data sources may include but not limit to user's phonebook, email contact list, social network's contact details and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said profile data of the user and the contact may include personal details, academic details, internships, professional details, professional skills, hobbies or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said profile data of the employer may include background details, partners/employee details, services available, product's details, available internships and/or jobs, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said pre-configured rules are defined by the system  100 , user or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the recommendation unit  110  comprises of an analytics unit  114  for creating and analysing the meta-data and an alert unit  116  for notifying user and/or the employer of said analysis. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  is adapted to operate completely or in parts at a device level, a server level or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         8 . An employment recommendation method, wherein the method comprising;
 receiving, by user management module  102 , the user related information from at least one data source, wherein the user related information comprises user's profile data of at least one user and profile data of at least one contact of said at least one user;   processing said information received from user management module  102  by the processing unit  104 , wherein the processing includes categorization of the user profile data and the contact profile data based on pre-configured rules;   receiving, by an employer module  106 , the employer related information from at least one data source, wherein the employer related information comprises profile data of at least one employer;   receiving, by the detecting unit  106 , the information from processing unit  104  and employer module  106  and identifying at least one vacancy available with at least one said employer and identifying at least one user with a matching user's profile data;   creating a meta-data to establish relationship between the said employer, the matching user and at least one of its contacts based on the information received by the detecting unit  106 ,   notifying the user and/or the employer of said relationship by the recommendation unit  110 ;   sending, by the user, a request regarding a referral for said vacancy with said employer, to said at least one contact identified in the said relationship, depending upon user's input.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , comprises normalizing the processed user related information by processing unit  104  and employer related information by employer module  106  into a standardized format wherein said format is pre-defined by the system  100  or by the user 
     
     
         10 . A system for generating and displaying an employment recommendation in a graphical user interface comprising:
 a first input means for receiving, a user related information from at least one data source, wherein the user related information comprises user's profile data of at least one user and profile data of at least one contact of said at least one user;   a pre-processing means adapted to receive user related information from said first input means and processing said user related information
 wherein said processing includes categorization of the user profile data and the contact profile data based on pre-configured rules; 
   a second input means for receiving employer related information from at least one data source, wherein the employer related information comprises profile data of at least one employer;   a processing means adapted to receive information from said first input means and said second input means, and
 identifying at least one vacancy available with at least one said employer and identifying at least one user with a matching user's profile data, and creating a meta-data to establish relationship between the said employer, the matching user and at least one of its contacts based on the information received by the detecting unit  106 , 
   an output means adapted to receive information from said processing means, for notifying the user and/or the employer of said relationship by the recommendation unit  110 , wherein a request regarding a referral for said vacancy with said employer is sent by the user to said at least one contact identified in the said relationship, depending upon user's input.
